Essendon stretched us and look what happened! Collingwood seem to be thinking the same!

Worth bringing in Hickey???

Witts is the extra tall to play alongside key forwards Travis Cloke and Quinten Lynch. He is listed at 208 centimetres and 113 kilograms.

Milne's form can turn around very quickly, wouldn't be surprised if he kicks a few tomorrow. Saints need a game like this to really push themselves.

Reminds me of Goldeneye on the 64. I'd kneel down and karate chop Jaws to death.

Think last week we had 5 with 5 total.
Kosi will crash and bash, milney will swoop, Saad may get some crumbs Milney leaves him.
Milney with unfinished business against the filth.

really worried about our lack of height in the backline... Buckley obviously selected Witts to stretch our backline... IMO Witts has been average in the VFL but his height will create concerns...

Lynch - Fisher

Stanley - Cloke

Witts / Jolley - Roberton orrrr.... :-s...

We need simpkin... this is what it should look like..

Lynch - Simpkin

Jolly / Witts - Fisher (Fisher to run run and run and create like he used to)

Cloke - Stanley..

What we need to do most of all is to match the pies in the midfield. If we do that and limit their ability to pinpoint their forward Talls then we have a chance of being able to rebound quickly (as with a Tall forward line Collingwood will struggle to apply the forward press).

exactly ... Cloke and Lynch are not going to go hunting the ball and the reason they have worked so well is from the silver service they have got from the Collingwood midfield ... control the midfield and suddenly collingwoods forwads don look as strong ... problem is Collingwood have a damn good midfield so stopping them is going to be a mighty task ...

Maybe setting he and Spencer White for Carlton next round? Neither named for Saints or Sandringham.

But who knows, maybe they're injured
